Vegan Lemon Broccoli Pasta Salad
There’s just something about pasta salad that puts me in the mood for summer. I made a big pot of this pasta salad and ate on it for a good few days. I noticed that after a couple days, the pasta salad got a bit dry so I added in a splash or water and a little olive oil before heating it up.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Boil water, add in pasta, turn down heat just a bit, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Step 2
Add in the broccoli, stir, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the pasta is at your desired doneness.
- Step 3
Drain all of the water and return the pasta/ broccoli to the pot. Add in the spinach and lemon zest, stir, and cover the pot. Let sit for 5 minutes or until the spinach has begun to wilt.
- Step 4
While you wait, heat the butter in a small skillet. Once just hot, add in the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Take off of heat.
- Step 5
Stir into the pasta the garlic butter mixture, lemon juice, and stir to combine.
- Step 6
Finally, stir in the parmesan cheese until fully mixed in.
- Step 7
Serve and garnish with a bit of extra vegan parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil, lemon wedges, and salt and pepper if desired.
